don’t know if you still have this problem or contacted Grimm yet, but came across an earlier post on this thread with exact same problem, with a solution provided by Grimm (you may have to look a few posts up & down): https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/58754-grimm-audio-mu1-and-mu2-music-players/?do=findComment&comment=1260019

I have a Behringer ECM8000 bought a few years ago with similar ideas in mind… never used it. Let me know by message if you’re interested to buy it ?

think you should contact Grimm who are more than helpful: [email protected]

Might not be the labels.. might just be internal ‘commercial decisions’ on what is affordable/ profitable (though of course the ‘labels’ may be making their own commercial pricing decisions too)

I can sort of understand it… their rights/distribution agreements change with time, so they’re aligning their online repository accordingly (adding or removing titles etc). They've obviously realised this has an impact on people who have paid (or will in the future) for a download (& maybe not yet downloaded), so they’re changing their terms. The only point of interest is how long should a provider keep a copy for you after you’ve bought a download ? It’d seem reasonable to give a period of a few weeks, but I don’t see why they should have to maintain an archive of out-of-license material for a lengthy period… few months maybe ??

that post is 3 years old !

thought it was odd to have mixed format, but those 3 tracks were released previously as “singles” which might explain their different format….. still odd though….

Nico, it would help if you explained what all the rectangular shapes are ? Seats, cupboards, walls, hifi furniture etc ?? And what is ‘behind’ the speakers where the 2.6 box is ? Is it a wall, half-open, open to a vide etc ? What are the walls ? Any windows with window coverings ? Could really do with a LOT more info ! And welcome 🙏

I don’t doubt it has “good measurements”.. I’m just uncertain whether it technically brings much (more) than an approach using AC power filters; in one case the inverter is many miles away but you have other users sharing the power source, in this case the inverter & its electronics are very close by but you have the advantage to isolate yourself from other users. Ulitimately if it works for you then it’s a good choice !

I’d question whether a standalone battery AC system is better or not… to supply mains AC it needs an AC inverter - I cannot believe these are electrically quiet in any way so even if you can generate a nice AC waveform it’ll surely be polluted with the inverter/ electronics noise ? (unless there’s some heavy AC filtering/ conditioning going on as well - so no different to putting the filter/ conditioner on the wall mains ?) It may well be a battery “source” but unless you’re powering DC equipment directly then I cannot see much benefit of regenerated AC over the wall mains with filters etc….

saw ADELE at her Munich show this weekend. I’m not normally a great fan of that type of music but was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Her voice is stunning, and of course she now has quite a catalogue of very familiar hits. Coupled with the show itself (including a 200 meter wide stage show screen display !) it really was a surprisingly wonderful experience.

and there was me thinking that I’d reached the ultimate in “separates” when I bought a DAC to connect to my CD Player some years ago….

! Thread Title = “DCS Suing GoldenSound!” seems to have become a bit lost….

good point… the text talks about asynchronous USB so I guess the one shown in the diagram is the USB Audio port. Your earlier point about not knowing what goes on inside the unit also still remains the key point….
